General Discussion / Original Fantasy Development
« on: January 24, 2011, 02:50:26 AM »
Greetings and salutations.
I remember seeing this a few years ago and re-stumbled upon it again yesterday seeing that it's still in very early development, and to be honest I was hoping that there would be some original ff games to check out, but perhaps with more due time. I always wondered, with the amount of work gone into hacking final fantasy roms and even editors for hacking final fantasy roms, why not just build an engine and some editors to make one from scratch allowing people the freedom to not be restricted by what's inside the rom? I've worked on some similar projects before and realize this is easier said than done, and no matter what you get finished there is always ten-thousand new things still left to do. ..still I think this is a great project you started and hope it's able to be completed. If the user base gets anywhere around what other programs like Zelda Classic or similar had, there would no doubt you'd see FF-style games built with it better than the original.
What's the development status of this project so far? Are you interested in collaborating with other developers on this project at all, or is this more of a solo - spare-time thing? I also noticed you are planning on using OpenGL for rendering; In either case regarding the aforementioned question; I'd be willing to help develop components or simply contribute some code to the cause. (Assuming you're still using c++). In any case I hope this eventually gets finished and good luck.
-Regards.
